Add LLDP support on FMG and FAZ 7.2.1

Using the CLI, the link layer discovery protocol (LLDP) feature can be enabled on FortiManager ports to advertise the device identity and make it discoverable by other devices on the local network segment. After enabling the LLDP feature on a port, the port sends LLDP packets every 30 seconds.

Note

The LLDP feature is set to disable by default.

To enable the LLDP feature:
  1. In the CLI, enter the following command:

    config system interface

    edit port1

    set lldp enable

    next

    end
